I always loved how they sounded in the original games. The Wii versions (at least of the first game) had different voices for them. I always assumed that it was the Japanese sound effects as they are sometimes different.

That said, the new sounds are great. I'm glad that they're new. What I'm less fond of is how they redesigned the iridescent flint beetle. I mean, I like the design just fine, but why has this creature changed so radically? Is there an explanation? Or perhaps, was that just a place-holder name? Based on what we've seen, it appears to behave exactly the same as the flint beetles that we know.

Maybe the beetles we've been seeing in the last games are at an early development stage and the Pikmin 3 ones are more mature? I think that would make sense unless something in Olimar's notes contradict that.---It's-a me!
